Like dancing? And stars? Us either, really. But apparently the “Dancing with the Stars” brand is so popular that it has made its way to Argentina. And because Argentina is full of Latinos, and Latinos are inherently sexy, their dancers wear little else but thongs made of feathers and rhinestones. Sexy! The Metro UK is all atwitter over the half-naked shenanigans of those crazy Latinoids:

Bailando Por Un Suenod - Dancing with the Stars - has started in Argentina, and the south [sic] Americans have injected their own Latino flare in the show.

There’s no aging Brucie, or tame prime time restrictions to stick to as the half naked dancers gyrate around the floor.

That’s right. You can’t invite us to a fancy dinner party without expecting us to hump the main course. Sometimes we’ll admit to wondering how much of a stereotype is rooted in truth and whether or not we unfairly judge those who happen to conform to or fall in line with a stereotype. And, surely, many people will read “sexy” as an overwhelmingly positive attribute.

But, damn, man. It’s tiring and, frankly, degrading that Latinos are seen as existing solely from the neck down. There’s a huge difference between “So-and-so is Argentine, pretty sexy and loves to dance while wearing nothing but pasties and dental floss” and “So-and-so is pretty and loves to dance while wearing nothing but pasties and dental floss because she’s Argentine.”
